Gold still

Post by DBCFlash »

Had a long conversation with a close friend who also happens to be a college physics/chemical engineering professor. He reckons that a still made from gold would be as effective as copper. I think someone needs to try packing a column with gold wool and report back their experience.

I use 12mm glass marbles for packing now. But if you send me a bag full of that "spun gold", I'll test it for you...no questions asked. No deposit...no return. :wtf:

I bet Mr. T's gold chains would make a good packing material. I pity the fool!

Even if this is true ... why would you pay the extra money for gold if it was not any better than copper?
